You got me excited with this listing being on a Diesel forum. There is nothing that I can see that it is a Diesel. It is just a gasser, so that price is about right. If it WAS a Diesel (CDI), I am sure it would be gone by now.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

On another note, I'm thinking about picking up a clean non running Mercedes for cheap, there's one with an electrical issues and another with a bad fuel pump. If either-or passes the compression test, it's fair game.

Thumbs up White 300CD

Looks nice, too bad he glosses over the bad brakes ~ I wonder what else it needs, the Parchement interior is a plus too in spite of the bad seat .

Ha! If you go to look at the car, he'll probably say, "Can't be driven due to bad caliper." hiding the fact that the transmission is also bad. But, hey, he made a fast $2,000... Oh, sorry, I forgot to add the "*****"s at the end. Also, the interior color looks like pinkomino.

Talking White Coupe

Good thing it's too far away ! .

I'd prolly grind the price down and buy it, then I'd have a nice pair of white W123's....

Agreed, I bet the brake problem is much more serious or is masking some other fault .

Well guys, I have failed you. I ended up getting a 2000 E320 Wagon for a steal of $1500.

I would love a Diesel, but they're more than double the asking price.

Exclamation AVOID THIS CAR!!!!

I personally visited and inspected this 1993 300D.

https://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/d/1993-mercedes-300d-turbo/6610129548.html

Problems, engine was knackered, specifically the throttle linkage, but even worse was the JB weld sealing injector #4 to the head.

I saw this one coming from how he was describing the car in a running state, I immediately knew I wasted my time.

Cylinder #5 was stone DEAD, the engine shook VIOLENTLY in the car, so much so I didn't even want to test drive it. The door handle and seat controls where completely destroyed. The wooden trim was decimated all over. Lots of random JUNK and trash filled every cavity of the vehicle except the drivers seat. You literally couldn't sit in the passenger seat, trunk was destroyed as well and filled with crap.

The body is also in poor shape.

The car was driven into the ground and received ZERO care, it's a parts car.
I like how he took my potential diagnosis of the engine and ran with it. I told him cylinder #5 could be dead because of low compression or if he was LUCKY, an injector, injector being an optimistic, hell naive diagnosis.

Before I left I showed him what an OK running OM603 should sound of behave, I opened the hood and started her up.

I told hijcould swap injectors to see if it's fuel or compression related, then told him to get a compression check and contact me again with results, he has yet to respond...

For $1,300? CHRIST!
